3 Claims.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in the general art of jewelry and more particularly to a novel ring and a method of constructing the same.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide a ring of ornate appearance which can be cheaply manufactured.

Another important object of the present invention is to provide a finger ring entirely con- 10 structed of celluloid or similar material which can be manufactured as cheap, if not cheaper, than many types of inexpensive metal rings and while at the same time possessing all of the appearances of a much more expensive ring.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a method of constructing a ring to produce a finger ring of exceedingly ornate appearance at extremely low cost.

These and various other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 represents a perspective View of the main body from which the ring is constructed.

Figure 2 represents a perspective view of the rectangular side blocks employed in conjunction with the body shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 represents a side elevational View of the body and blocks assembled.

Figure 4 represents an end elevational View of the body and blocks assembled.

Figure 5 represents a side elevational view of the body and blocks and the finger opening has been made therethrough.

Figure 6 represents the ring after it has been out from the assembly as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 7 represents a side elevational View of the residue structure left after the ring in Figure 6 has been extracted.

Figure 8 represents an end elevational view of the ring as represented in Figure 6.

Figure 9 represents an end elevational View of the ring after it has been beveled down.

Figure 10 represents an end elevational view of the ring as finished in Figure 9 with a color plate applied to the top thereof.

Figure 11 represents an edge elevational view of the ring with a photograph or emblem plate applied to the color plate.

Figure 12 represents an edge elevational view of the ring with a transparent plate applied to the photograph or emblem plate.

Figure 13 represents a top plan View of the ring showing the emblem or monogram visible 55 through the transparent pane.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen in Figure 1 that numeral 5 represents the square main body of celluloid or similar material, while numeral 5-3 represents the side blocks of the same material. Side blocks 6-6 may be of a different color than the body 5, but are secured by some cohesive method or means such as cementing to opposite sides of the body 5 adjacent one end thereof in the manner substantially shown in Figures 3 and 4. This represents the first step in the method of assembling and constructing the ring.

The second step consists in boring an' opening 7 through the assembly to produce a structure as shown in Figure 5, this opening i being the usual finger opening of the finished ring.

The next and third step in the method is to cut by use of a suitable instrument, the ring from the assembly of blocks shown in Figure 5 to produce the ring proper in rough form as shown in Figure 6, leaving the residue structure as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 9 shows the ring proper after the outer side portions of the side blocks fi6 have been trimmed down and the corner portions of the entire structure have been dressed down to the extent represented in Figure 9. This is the fourth step in the method.

The fifth step involves the application of a white or other colored plate 8 to the head portion of the ring.

The sixth step is then to apply the emblematic plate 9 to the plate 8. These plates can be applied by any cohesion means or method known.

Finally, the transparent pane or plate It is applied to the emblematic plate or photograph 9 and the finished product is as shown in Figures 12 and 13.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. A finger ring comprising a ring portion, a head portion, both portions being constructed of cohesive material, a display plate secured to the said head portion and a transparent plate cohered to the said display plate.

2. A method of constructing finger rings consisting in applying a strip to each side of a main body to build up a head portion, forming a finger receiving opening through the body and side strips, cutting out the ring proper from the assembly consisting of the body and strips, shaping down the side strips and remaining portion of the body and applying ornate matter to the top of the head portion.

3. A method of constructing finger rings consisting in applying a strip to each side of a main body to build up a head portion, forming a finger receiving opening through the body and side strips, cutting out the ring proper from the assembly consisting of the body and strips, shaping down the side strips and remaining portion of the body and applying a display element to the top side of the head portion and adhering a transparent covering over the said display element.
